“But that was the hardest thing about death: the unrelenting march of time forward, away from the person you’ve lost.”
Katy Hays, The Cloisters

“And I searched my memory -- that thin, imperfect archive -- for where might have seen it before.

[Ann Stilwell]”
Katy Hays, The Cloisters

Katy Hays, The Cloisters
